Sure it would... it will take longer, but it will work (good luck finding the 12" tube x 1/2" NPT though
). Remember, pressure is related to the depth below a fluid's surface if it's open to the atmosphere... there's no dependance on the size of the container. To take this to the extreme, if you put your pump into the bottom of a swimming pool, and supplied it water (through a fictional hose that didn't cause any loss of it's rated head) then you could eventually fill up the pool to a height that's equal to the maximum head of the pump... after that it'd shut off.

A mile and a kilometre are measuring the same thing

Yes and no here... while they both are measuring distance, they're certainly not measuring the same thing... since a mile is around 1.6 klicks. Same with psi and feet of head (1 foot lift is approximately 0.43 psi).
